- Leaving information about your whereabouts on the dash of your car, having a charged cell phone, food, water and medical supplies.
-Always let someone know where you are going and when you think you'll be back.
-Wear proper clothing and footwear, adding that attempting to navigate the trails in flip flops would be a very poor decision.
